The Da Vinci Code

"Fascinating and absorbing... A great, riveting read. I loved this book" -- Harlan Coben "Brown's novel adroitly blends the chase-stuffed thrillers of Robert Ludlum and the learned romps of Umberto Eco... For anyone who wants more brain food than thrillers normally provide" The Sunday Times "Blockbuster perfection... An exhilaratingly brainy thriller. Not since the advent of Harry Potter has an author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase" The New York Times "Exceedingly clever... Both fascinating and fun... A considerable achievement" The Washington Post "A gripping bestseller... Brown has cracked the bestseller code" Guardian
